Enhance your molecular ecology expertise by performing DNA barcoding experiments.
In this course you will learn DNA barcoding, a technique for identifying species using their genetic code. This important method is crucial for environmental monitoring and species conservation, and it can also be used for ecological risk assessment, such as detecting invasive species. Gain practical skills in planning, executing and interpreting DNA barcoding studies through hands-on experiment, enabling you to analyze and present barcode data in a scientific manner.
